Yet only a handful of old standbys are commonly used, resulting in dull, unimaginative landscapes. In reality, there are thousands of exciting, garden-worthy plants that make excellent ground covers-people just don't know about them. This comprehensive reference will provide both essential information and photographs for approximately 4000 outstanding plants. Also included will be information on planting, care and maintenance, propagation, and design, making the book an essential tool for designers and nursery professionals"-- ER -
